I hate Google photos because I feel it’s too invasive with that cloud backup that you never really know if a photo is online or on device, so I disabled it in my Google Pixel.

Now Google camera is broken, says it can’t show previews until I enable Google photos again.

Is there any workaround? Tried with many other galleries, but seems it’s hard coded to Google photos…

    I have it installed on my Pixel running GrapheneOS and it works great. Not sure if you are running a custom ROM or not; I am assuming on stock Android, the phone does not let you uninstall Google Photos? If that is the case then I think you are out of luck as the Google Photos thing is hard coded into GCam.
